Are you sure? I'm running AdBlock Plus on Chrome right now and I can get to tweaktown just fine. No ads pop up either.

it worked for me for a while on one pc with ad block and not on another. now it does not work on any of my pc's with adblock. have not really looked into what it is trying to load when i get the page redirect. might be something else i have blocked as i have a rather extensive host file blocking a ton of ip's from nay many sources.

the site is not that important to me as an info source, so have not really investigated it.

I am running AdBlock Plus through the latest version of Firefox. I have tried your link a few times and every time I do it with the ad blocker active I get redirected to a "ad blocker detected" site that won't let me view the article.

The only time I was able to get through was after disabling AdBlock Plus but when I did that the malicious, fake Firefox update scam I posted about took over the entire page and tried to install software on my PC.

My work-around? Before the redirect kicks in, hit CTRL+P, pick Microsoft PDF Writer and click the print button.

As long as you get to the "Save as" window before the redirect hits, the pre-redirect page will have been sent to the PDF driver.

Another option is since the page probably does redirect by redirecting the page by default and using a script to stop the redirect, you may be able to make-do by disabling page redirects.

It isn't a redirect script - it works even with scripts turned off. I haven't looked at the code but the only way I can think of to redirect a page upon "detecting" adblock is to have an HTML redirect embedded in the normal page and then override it with javascript after ads have loaded. If the ads fail to load, then the javascript lets the HTML redirect time out and redirect. That's why you can read the page for a few seconds before the redirect happens.

I would be surprised if no plugin existed to block redirects or give you some degree of control over them.

Worked like a charm. Well done.

I have a GTX 970 and a 1920x1200 monitor. Fallout 4 is my most played game right now and on Ultra it uses between 1900 and 2300 MB of VRAM. I think I'd still pop for the 6GB version, but I don't think most people buying a $199 GPU are going to be pushing that hard. 1080p most likely with no plans to anything greater. I would think most buyers will get the use out of it before the 3GB of VRAM spoils their gaming experience.
